If you haven't checked out One of Us yet, time is running out. The sheer number of stories from incredible writers in this anthology is a great tribute to Frank. If you didn't know Frank, you'll know most, if not all, of the writers.

Hello, all. Iโ€™m looking for podcasts suggestions. My interests are writing, editing, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, guitar, music, art, painting, stories, history, things like that, but always willing to give something new a try. Just need to find some more positive things to listen to while I work.

Store NOTE: Unfortunately, currently you can only order one item at a time. I am working on this, but itโ€™s slow going. For now, this is the best I can do. For international orders, please use the cโ€ฆ

But, as always, what books I have in stock are available on my website store: kennethwcain.com/7302-2/

And yes, I know the interface isn't the greatest. My website is something I'm currently working on. So stay tuned.
